I say things to the kids that I know they have slender hope of understanding and they frequently surprise me by not only picking it up, but using it correctly.
When I get absent-minded, I often . . .

Here's my problem. Jerry is a bright, outging, affectionate kid who is saddled with an annoying mother who works all the time and a father who apparently also works constantly. From what I'm told, . . .

Thursday, we went to Seoul Grand Park. The park is actually split into three sections, near as I can tell. There’s the amusement park with rides and a mini Epcot ball, which costs around $21 a head . . .

On Sports Day, after the games, we took the kids (4 and 5 year olds) for a walk. They'd had a tough day because they lost every game but the last one. My class is a little smaller than Cherry or Dolphin, . . .

I've been battling a cold for about 3 weeks now. I was actually getting better until Sports Day two weeks ago when I overdid it a little. Ok, more than a little. Sophie, my assistant teacher, kept . . .

In the end it went off with fewer hitches than one would expect when one is working with 5 year olds. I went to school about 1 and Helen, Sophie and I spent the afternoon cleaning and moving things around. . . .

Ok, this actually happened Frida, but it's taken a while to get to where I could write about it without gagging.

I stopped in at school today to wrap up some loose ends and drop off more freebies for the teachers staying behind. Naturally, I stopped in to talk to Helen. She said she talked to Sonia's mother . . .

No, I mean, I really lost Amy.
Amy really isn’t up to speed with the rest of the class. She was fine the first day because we didn’t ask her to do anything, but we did have to keep . . .

Not too long ago, Helen and I were plotting Christmas. I like to plan ahead and when there are 4 year olds and a bureaucracy involved, it's the best method. Koreans claim to not be big on sweet things . . .
